I 'm a bit lost on the connection between woollens and fuzes, but here we are.
Gault brothers , huge drygoods business in Montreal. The bank is something
I can't find out anything about ? The fuze is 1917 by I M Co & W M Co. 80 Mk Vll,
no internal parts.

AOC lists of No.80 manufacturers have I M Co as International Manufacturing Co.

The entity International Manufacturing Co. seems to be absent from the usual monogram lists, but fortunately it appears on AOC decodes of markings on boxes.
 
Both nice items Gordon. Perhaps the fuze was for darning socks? It’s easier if they’re stretched over something.
